			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of the funniest things I&#8217;ve seen in a long time.  Below is a drawing that a daughter submitted to her teacher, and the topic was &#8220;I want to be like my Mommy&#8221;:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-215" title="My Mommy" src="http://russpond.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/image.jpg" alt="I want to be like my Mommy" width="500" height="363" /></p>
<p>After seeing this, the mom had to write a letter to the teacher and explain:</p>
<ul>Dear Mrs. Jones,  </p>
<p>I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.  I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit.  I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it.    Her picture doesn&#8217;t show me dancing around a pole.  It&#8217;s supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot. From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Mrs. Smith</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just came across <a href="http://rentzsch.com/notes/googleUnfortunatelyYourName">this</a>.</p>
<p>Imagine with me for a moment&#8211;you&#8217;re a screenwriter, and you have a creative block.  You need some drama.  Here&#8217;s what you do:  Google &#8220;Unfortunately, $InsertName&#8221; and there you go.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, Russell&#8230;
<ul>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell being a little digging machine (and an overachieving one at that) made some more modifications to his bedding chamber and dug through to the surface.</li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell&#8217;s sled bogged down in soft snow going up a steep hill. By the time he reached the top, the others were a quarter mile ahead and seemingly about to end his last chance to collect the oxen.</li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately Russell fixed that nasty palette bug in drivers/video/fbcon.</li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell&#8217;s SE Linux policies take effect on everything he touches, the gun was denied, and the headset was turned off.</li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell had gotten quite old.  <i>(Ouch, that one hurt.)</i></li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell was not feeling at his best that day, and so he was not as flamboyant as he was.</li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell wastes much of the book on exposition and flashbacks, and the emotional turmoils and scandalous revelations too often lapse into melodrama.</li>
<p>
<li>Unfortunately, Russell&#8217;s e-mail address no longer works so I have been unable to notify him of this version.</li>
<p></ul>
<p>I could go on.  There were 700 of them.  But, unfortunately&#8230;</p>
